Swiss FBO and vip handling provider Air Service Basel at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse Airport (LFSB/BSL) and Avfuel Corporation have entered into a partnership allowing Air Service Basel to offer Avfuel-branded aviation fuels and popular pilot programs, as well as to take advantage of Avfuel's various operational and training systems.

Located on the tri-national border between Switzerland, France, and Germany, Air Service Basel is a prized addition to the Avfuel Network, said Avfuel vice president, marketing, Marci Ammerman. "Basel is a major European cultural and business destination, making it a key location for operators of private and corporate aircraft," Ammerman said. "The partnership between Avfuel and Air Service Basel allows both entities to build on and expand each others' strengths and offer these operators the highest-quality products, services and systems available."

“Air Service Basel is dedicated to sustained growth by providing innovative, cost-efficient, and flexible professional services to our growing customer base,” stated Air Service Basel's ceo, Claudio Lasagni. “Partnering with Avfuel ensures that the demands of this dynamic and shifting market will be taken into account. We are ready to face these challenges with a proactive approach in cooperation with Avfuel to perfectly meet the demands of clients in Basel.”

Air Service Basel's FBO operation echoes the Swiss city's famed reputation for discretion. The state-of-the-art facilities are sleek yet welcoming; and the staff considers comfort, safety and security the cornerstones of a perfect guest experience. Spacious and secure hangar parking is available, along with ample apron space, for aircraft up to the size of a B737. Additionally, Air Service Basel boasts a sophisticated on-site maintenance centre staffed by highly-skilled, factory-trained technicians capable of servicing a large range of aircraft models.

Among the new offerings flight departments will now have access to: Avfuel Contract Fuel - allowing for the purchase of jet fuel at less-than-retail rates at over 3,000 locations around the globe - and AVTRIP Rewards, which awards points for the purchase of fuel at Avfuel Network FBOs and trip-planning services arranged through Avplan Trip Support. "Avfuel's programs and systems are designed to enhance the guest experience, whether through better rates on fuel, loyalty rewards, or through more efficient processing at the front counter," said Ammerman. "They integrate seamlessly into an organization such as Air Service Basel, which employs the highest standards of service and care."
